we knew we had the power position when lemmy's world stood it's ground and didn't explode on the day before yesterday.

web of trust, or mywot. puts a little sign next to every link telling you if they're trustworthy. fucken game changer. botsight is a great one for twitter. and buzzkill, well, kills buzzfeed

when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train

so what's the full specs of the machine? would building one of them and then running it at home from an NBN connection be viable, or would it lag to hell more than lemmy's world about 12 hours ago?

btw when it's time for money, i'll put one hand up and the other into my pocket. this is the sort of thing that i would be happy to fund.

nah, crypto is smoke-and-mirrors and he knows that this isn't, so he's run away

the instance that i'm typing from is being hosted in someone's cupboard with some pretty off-the-shelf parts. i'v probably got enough parts for something similar laying around my house. if instances stay to low populations and the workload is distributed amongst all of them, it's not actually stressing the system all that much at all.

that being said, as soon as the aussie zone sysadmin asks for financial assistance, i'll be putting my hand into my pocket. again, if enough people do that then it's not much of a cost at all

the thing that did happen with digg that didn't happen with heaps of other websites was a negatively received UI change. people hated it.

now, people deliberately don't use the reddit mobile app because it fucking sucks, and closing down the alternatives is a negative UI change ...

ahh i just noticed where you're from. i'm trying to link to lemmy.world. your instance hasn't let me log in.

it shouldn't, but i cannot see either c/dub or c/reggae even tho i have DMed myself the literal links to them. maybe the instances need to sync again? i think the last time that happened was something close to 15 hourts ago

i can see where you're coming from with that, you want to protect your userbase from malicious individuals. that's noble. it's sad to see you go, but if you must then you must.

lol nah, the best mods are the ones that nobody notices because they just deal with everything immediately and with a friendly and happy attitude

oh cheers, thank you! i was not aware of that. thanks again!
